How often do you guys squid?

I only wear a helmet on the streets.

Leather/armored jacket / gloves if I'm going to go on the freeway

>>16703544
When the weather is good, all the time. If I'm going on a spirited ride though, I gear up

>>16703544
pretty much never unless im just going around the corner or in the paddock at the track, other than that ATGATT

>>16703538
crank up the preload in the rear, check tire pressure and probably up it a couple psi as well, make sure they know not to shift weight retardedly at random and to just lean with you and stuff

>>16703544

>>16703544
Never. Just buy gear on Craigslist.

>>16703544

Now I wear everything but kevlar pants all the time

>>16703544
enjoy your road rash

>>16703573
>Rarely before my accident
I meant I rarely wore gear other than a helmet before my accident, so I'd squid a lot

>>16703580
thx for clearing that up capt obv

>>16703573
Dude, my hip hurt more than anything else.
And that was just parking lot practice. (Rain, first month, other excuse...)

>>16703544
i'd just wear a hoodie if i'm a short fuck-it trip.

jacket for the longer rides towards VA Beach and shit like that, i fucking hate VA Beach's murderous congested traffic with a passion.

at night it's not so shitty

used to squid pretty bad. nothing crazy, just jeans, slippers, and a t-shirt, and shitty gloves. helmet too obviously.

went down on a turn and the only thing I really fucked up was my hip and ankles (tehy were sore for a few days) and got some road rash on my elbows

>>16703587
Older bikes don't have lights.
All the (vintage flight suits) all the time

>>16703593
i have my alpinestar gloves too, they're hi-viz and 'winter proof' which is a fucking lie whilst riding in 20 degrees.

i guess i'll add my work boots, the jeans and a thermal underneath

Are these any good?

One came up for sale in my area, might go take a look.

https://nashville.craigslist.org/mcy/6011598722.html

>>16703699
Illinois, Florida, California and the District of Columbia prohibit openly carrying any firearms. There is literally no reason for Florida to be on that list

Asked generally a few days ago, but now I've narrowed down some details.

If I got a short pipe exhaust and removed my giant can exhaust, and I kept the baffle in the short pipe, would that require me getting a power commander and tuning it to the short exhaust specifically? The short pipe is just a slip on. The consensus a few days ago when I asked generally about slip ons was "no, stock tune should be fine for a slip on", but since the one I like is extremely small compared to the stock exhaust, would that change anything? It's pretty 50/50 going through some forums, so I'm not sure if I'd have to drop $300-$400 on a power commander and more to get it tuned.

>>16703717
It is the Harley with the greatest lean angle. They're supposed to be a stylized tribute to flat track racers. Still will get smoked by almost any serious street bike in the twistys.

That's a pretty good price for that particular bike though.

>>16703743
Twisty riding is maybe 5% of what I do. I'd use it on my 90 mile commute. Are the 1200cc engines generally reliable?

note: ive ridden a ninja 250 and a klx250sf on the same commute.

>>16703717
Why would you buy a Harley that looks like a 70's UJM? If you're going to buy a Harley (and I wouldn't) at least buy one that LOOKS like a Harley.

>>16703716
(The leftie)
Open makes more sense anyway. My Panther uncles both agree.

The way the WA version is written is pretty simple. Top l/s speed is 45, don't be a dick.
Reduce congestion, save the planet, sell more bikes.

(I don't care about your dictator until Gestapo breaches the border. I have enough trouble already, pointing out that in the West neoliberalism IS the conservative position.)

>>16703737
As always the answer is 'it depends'
It will definitely throw off the tuning but I doubt anyone here actually knows how much the ECU can compensate for it, some can do a decent job.
It will probably still run pretty close to normal if your baffle is sensible but you might lose/gain power in certain parts of your rpm.

Just get the new pipe if you want it, put it on and see how it rides, if it really rides like shit, hard to start etc you'll know it will need a tune but you might be happy enough with the stock tune. Most mufflers will generally still run without tuning other than some Hondas which have very restrictive stock mufflers.

>>16703753
Did you ever stop to think why it looks like a UJM? Like maybe the UJM was designed after a certain American made motorcycle brand?

You stepped on the punji stick with that one my friend

>>16703753
Because he wants a UJM that will break.
Just buy Yamaha.

>>16703766
Assuming it starts fine and there's only a small shift in power location, would running the stock tune risk causing damage over time, or would I only risk that if it was noticeably running worse?

>>16703779
By that logic, EVERY BIKE is designed to look like an Indian.

So, I copped this 91 nighthawk 250, because USD900 is college money.
I read it uses the same engine as the last generation rebel, but where do I get body parts?
The jackass who owned it last bent the bars, and cracked a side fairing dicking around with the battery.

get an AMA membership, it pays for itself if you use bikebandit or other sites with AMA discount to buy parts and tires

plus if you happen to unfortunately live in a state that doesnt allow filtering, they will support any efforts to legalize it in your state

The only difference between a stock XR1200 and the AMA racebike is a steering damper, boat tail, number plate, V&H exhaust, and rearsets.

>>16703805
And Honda just dropped an 1100cc turd designed after their big 750.
What's the point in buying something that big if you want to go around a corner?

>>16703750
That's the same engine they've been using in the sporster for a million years so yeah, it's pretty much got all the bugs worked out.

Compared to what you've been riding, it's going to have a massive bottom end off the line but not much up top.

>>16703790
If it's running noticeably hotter it should really get a tune.

You could check the plugs for abnormal wear but there's no guarantee it will show. Unless you're pretty much racing it IMO there probably won't be a big difference if you leave the intake all stock.
What bike are we talking about here?

>>16703879
2006 CBR 600 F4i. Have been wanting a smaller exhaust since fall since the stock one is absolutely enormous.

Or get a ducati. If you have that kind of money, you don't need the bike.

How do rear wheel bike stands work? I'm looking at getting on for my R3 (inb4 memebike) so I can lube the chain easier etc. Does any rear wheel stand work? How do you actually put it on the stand by yourself? Do you leave the bike on its sidestand then wheel the stand thing under the rear wheel and lift it up? But won't the bike be sideways? I'm confused.

>>16704017
You hold the bike up straight and lift it with the rear stand.

>>16704017
It's a 300. Just manhandle it.

But how do you do that by yourself without the bike tipping over? Do you straighten the front wheel, then tilt it straight by holding onto the rear seat? Won't it tip over?

>>16704037
How do you reach that far back with your leg? Or am I overthinking this all a little too much.

>>16703790
>only a small shift in power location
You might feel a slight increase up top from the increased flow but other than that I think it will all just be in your head. When you're making a lot of noise you trick yourself into thinking you're going faster.

Im 6'6" you can put a block in front of the wheel too. You just dont want to chase the bike around the garage.

It takes lots of practice and confidence to be as skilled as them, but is very possible.
I've ride many cruisers. It's not the most powerful, but once you get moving in it you forget how much it weighs. Very well balanced bikes. Probably the only harley I'd buy

then why do you want a 600

unless youre looking at like fz6 or something

>>16704384
Changing the sprockets made my r6 annoying on the freeway
Droned like help between 70mph-75 so I was always going 80+ and getting pulled over

>>16704375
Thats cause they're really only 4 years old, and people who buy them dont sell them.

And they gib me boners.

Why?

>>16704429
try going by a semi at 85 mph with each one... then come back with that statement

>>16704435
what kind of click? the fast chatter of the relay on a dead batery or the solid click of the start relay closing but the starter motor just doesnt do anything?

I'll wait until it's dry to start it again and cross my fingers.

whack the starter a couple times or take it off and see if it spins freely.

Dude how fucking hard did you hit it?

I've posted this on the other thread but I'll put it here too.
-Lads, I'm interested in buying a motorbike to go to and from Uni because my jeep had pretty shit fuel economy. I used to ride as a kid, had a kx65 so I'm not inexperienced, but I'm not sure what bike I should get.
I have 3500 saved, and I want a decent reliable bike, not sure If I should get a trailbike or a roadbike. Any recommendations? i live in Australia, and that $3500 would include protective equiptment, rego and a training course so that'd leave around $2500 for a bike.

>>16704541
Just toss a wimpshield on

>>16704554
..how hard did you hit it?
might be time to pull it at check it out.
you didnt hydrolock it did you?

>>16704546
God dammit
>>16704561
Pretty hard i guess, i have some pent up frustration.
So i need a new starter?

>>16704554
Did you put the battery in backwards?

>>16704563
save some more money.
Or get a really shit sv650

>>16703544
Pretty often, but I usually ride in the city (20-40mph) and I'm not cornering hard.

Just a helmet and leather gauntlets when I'm commuting. I throw a armored leather jacket if I'm going on the freeway for a extended period of time or on a fun ride. The jacket is kinda uncomfortable and annoying to carry around at work/school.

>>16704569
99% sure i didnt, ill look when i go back out
